  • Each of the forward liner panels 72A includes a single row of studs 100A (Five shown) that extend through respective stud apertures 134 in the support shell 68 (see FIG. 7 ).
  • a center or "king" stud 100Aa is received within a central circular stud aperture 134a while the remainder of the studs 100Ab are received within elongated apertures 134b to facilitate operational thermal growth relative to the center or "king" stud 100Aa (see FIG. 7 ).
  • the convergent cavity 120 forms a cavity 106A that converges toward in the support shell 68, 70 the forward circumferential rail 128 and the aft circumferential rail 130.
  • the intermediate circumferential rail 126 further subdivides the cavity 106A into a forward convergent cavity 106Aa and an aft convergent cavity 106Ab.
  • the forward cavity 106Aa and the aft cavity 106Ab thereby accelerate and direct impingement airflow from impingement passages 104 (also shown in FIG. 7 ) on each respective side of the intermediate circumferential rail 126 toward forward effusion apertures 108a and aft effusion apertures 108b.
  • the forward effusion apertures 108a and the aft effusion apertures 108b may define respective angles through the forward liner panels 72A to respectively direct effusion airflow generally forward and aft into the combustion chamber 66. It should be appreciated that various contours and configurations are possible to tailor the location of the effusion air passages to optimize heat transfer, pressure loss, manufacturability, etc., without need for additional hardware between the respective support shell 68 and the forward liner panels 72A.
  • Axial end rails 136 circumferentially close-out each forward liner panel 72A with respect to the support shell 68. That is, the forward circumferential rail 128 and the aft circumferential rail 130 are located at relatively constant curvature axial interfaces while the axial end rails 136 extend across an axial length of the support shell 68 to complete a perimeter rail 138 that seals the periphery of each forward liner panels 72A with respect to its support shell 68.
  • the multiple of studs 100A extend from the intermediate rail 126. That is, the studs 100A are aligned with, and may at least partially form, the intermediate rail 126. It should be appreciated that the studs 100A may also at least partially extend from the cold side 110. That is, the relatively cylindrical studs 100A form a footprint greater than the intermediate rail 126 and may thereby also extend in part from the cold side. In this disclosed non-limiting embodiment, each of the studs 100A may be at least partially surrounded by posts 132 which extend from the cold side 110 to at least partially support the fastener 102.
  • Location of studs 100 on the intermediate rails 126 facilitates an effective seal between the liner panels 72, 74 and respective support shell 68, 70 that reduces leakage to facilitate formation of a relatively larger pressure drops across the liner panels 72, 74 and thereby increase cooling effectiveness.
  • a multiple of heat transfer augmentors 140 such as hemispherical dimples, chevron type, cylindrical pins, or other geometries extend from the cold side 110 of each liner panel 72A, 74A.
  • the liner panels 72A, 74A may be manufactured via an additive manufacturing process that facilitates incorporation of the relatively small heat transfer augmentors 140 as well as other features.
  • One additive manufacturing process includes powder bed metallurgy in which layers of powder alloy such as nickel, cobalt, or other material is sequentially build-up by systems from, for example, Concept Laser of Lichtenfels, DE and EOS of Kunststoff, DE, e.g. direct metal laser sintering or electron beam melting.
  • Cooling air is introduced between the between the support shell 68, 70 and the respective liner panels 72A, 74A from the respective outer and inner annular plenum 76, 78.
  • This cooling flow proceeds from the impingement passages 104 which flank the intermediate rail 126, through the respective forward convergent cavity 106Aa and the aft convergent cavity 106Ab, then discharged through respective effusion passages 108 adjacent to the respective forward circumferential rail 128 and the aft circumferential rail 130. That is, the cooling air discharge is at the forward and aft edges of each liner panel to reduce general film cooling.
  • the forward convergent cavity 106Aa and the aft convergent cavity 106Ab generates a relatively strong impingement flow. That is, the contoured region 124 of the support shell 68, 70 reduces the degree of freedom of the cooling flow otherwise generated from the impingement passages 104 (see FIG. 10 ) to generate a more focused impingement flow.
  • one or more additional rows of impingement passages 104A may be located downstream of the impingement passages 104 which flank the intermediate rail 126 to further energize this impingement flow.
  • the additional rows of impingement passages 104A are located intermediate the intermediate rail 126 and the respective forward circumferential rail 128 and the aft circumferential rail 130 (see FIG. 10 ).
  • the relatively small heat transfer augmentors 140 extend from the cold side 110 within the respective forward convergent cavity 106Aa and the aft convergent cavity 106Ab over which the relatively strong impingement flow passes.
  • the multiple of heat transfer augmentors 140 increase surface area, promote turbulence, increase thermal efficiency, and facilitates film cooling as the spent impingement flow follows the direction towards effusion passages 108.
  • flow transition from the stagnation impingement flow to turbulent flow follows the mechanism associated with turbulence creation through unstable Tollmien-Schiliting waves, three-dimensional instability, then by vortex breakdown in a cascading process which leads to intense flow fluctuations and energy exchange or high heat transfer.
  • This natural process facilitated by the multiple of heat transfer augmentors 140, provides high energy exchange, turbulence, coalescence of turbulence and redirection of flow towards more sensitive heat transfer areas, along with flow reattachment.
  • the heat transfer augmentors 140 extend from the cold side 110 for an about half-height of the respective forward convergent cavity 106Aa and the aft convergent cavity 106Ab. That is, the half-height heat transfer augmentors 140 extend from the cold side 110 of the liner panel 72A, 74A about half way to the respective the support shell 68, 70 and follow the profile of the contoured region 124 of the support shell 68, 70 (see FIG. 11 ). In other words, the multiple of heat transfer augmentors 140 generally decrease in height with respect to a distance from the intermediate rail 126.
  • the heat transfer augmentors 140 are arranged in accordance with the following formulas: s n H ⁇ 3 s n s p ⁇ 0.7 h p H ⁇ 1 2
  • Sn is a transverse spacing of the heat transfer augmentors 140 generally transverse to the cooling airflow
  • H is the local height of the convergent cavity 106Aa, 106Ab
  • Hp is the height of each heat transfer augmentor 140
  • Sp is an axial spacing of the heat transfer augmentors 140 generally parallel to the cooling airflow
  • dp is a diameter of each heat transfer augmentor 140.
  • the heat transfer augmentors 140 are arranged in a generally gothic arch architecture 150 in which the pointed apex 152 of each pointed arch 154 formed by the multiple of heat transfer augmentors 140 thereof are arranged generally adjacent to the intermediate rail 126 and the extrados 156 therefrom extend toward the respective forward circumferential rail 128 and the aft circumferential rail 130.
  • the generally gothic arch architecture 150 may include numerous pointed arches 154 which are arranged in a nested arrangement.
  • the heat transfer augmentors 140 in one disclosed non-limiting embodiment extend from the cold side 110 to generally follow the profile of the contoured region 124 of the support shell 68, 70. It should be appreciated that half-height, full-height as well as other heights and combinations thereof may alternatively be utilized.
  • the apex 152 of at least some of the outermost pointed arches 154 may extend into or form a portion of a multiple of impingement target heat transfer augmentors 140A - here shown as three (3) parallel rows which flank the intermediate rail 126.
  • the impingement target heat transfer augmentors 140A are the features generally adjacent to the impingement passages 104.
  • the multiple of cooling impingement the passages 104 penetrate through the support shells 68, 70 to allow air from the respective annular plenums 76, 78 to impinge onto the target heat transfer augmentors 140A such that the impingement air will at least partially turbulate.
  • the heat transfer augmentors 140 are arranged in accordance with the following formulas: s n d p ⁇ 3 s n s p ⁇ 1 h p H ⁇ 1 2
  • the half-height pins are arranged generally in rows. That is, no gothic arch architecture is provided.
  • the heat transfer augmentors 140 are arranged in accordance with the following formulas: s n d p 4 s n s p ⁇ 1 h p H ⁇ 1
  • the heat transfer augmentors 140 extend from the cold side 110 for the full height of the respective forward convergent cavity 106Aa and the aft convergent cavity 106Ab. That is, the full-height heat transfer augmentors 140 extend from the cold side 110 of the liner panel 72, 74 proximate to the respective the support shell 68, 70. That is, the full-height heat transfer augmentors 140 extend from the cold side 110 across the forward convergent cavity 106Aa and the aft convergent cavity 106Ab to follow the profile of the of the contoured region 124 of the support shell 68, 70.
  • the full-height heat transfer augmentors 140 may form a gap, i.e., pre-assembly gap, that for example, may be about 0.005 - 0.020 inches (0.1- 0.5 mm), that is closed in response to deflection of the contoured region 124 as the fasteners 102 are tightened onto the studs 100. As the fasteners 102 are tightened down, the sheet metal support shell 68, 70 slightly elastically deform against the full-height heat transfer augmentors 140.
  • the fasteners 102 thereby close the gap such that the contoured region 124 closely follows the axial end rails 136 to circumferentially close-out and form an interference fit between each of the forward liner panels 72A, 74A with respect to the associated support shell 68, 70. It should be appreciated that fasteners such as clips and mechanisms other than threads may alternatively or additionally be utilized to minimize leakage from both the neighboring rail and adjacent rails.
  • heat transfer augmentors 140 may be combined in various manners, full-height, half-height, gothic arch architecture, row architecture as well as others. That is, it is possible to use some of these arrangements from any of the non-limiting embodiments may be arranged in combination from any of the other non-limiting embodiments.
  • the cooling concept takes advantage of one or more rows of impingement passages jet (with high heat transfer coefficient at the stagnation region followed by forced flow through a convergent.
  • the cooling air passes over the heat transfer augmentors, such as hemispherical dimples, "chevrons" type features and cylindrical pins.
  • the heat transfer augmentors ameliorate the apparent conflict between cooling air in a combustor environment. This design balances desirable cooling air for cooling the combustor walls; while preventing excessive NOX emissions, Reduces emissions, increases durability and time-on-wing for improved reliability.
